Once a week we get food delivered to our door. Every sunday to be exact. It’s something my mother did when I was growing up as a way to treat everyone for all the hard work done that week.
It was always really exciting because my brother and I got to pick what type of food we were having for dinner – usually a toss between pizza, KFC or McDonald’s. Dinner was eaten in front of the television with TV tray tables and a glass of barley iced tea (mugicha).

It was the best and most relaxing day – fond memories I have of my childhood, thanks to the most amazing and fun mother!

Nowadays, delivery mostly consists of Asian food. Okay, sometimes we’ll get falafels or a pizza, but I’d say 85% of the time we have either Malaysian, Chinese or Japanese. And when it’s not sunday-delivery-day, we make our own quick and easy Asian menu consisting of easy dishes like this chicken broccoli stir fry.

YUM!
